bordure engrailed. Or.
These Anns were borne by Mr. Thomas Colby of Great Torringtotx, m
appears from a drawing made, probably, laoi-u than a hundred ycara ago,
and from a seal on which " Colby" is impaled with " Coplestona" In
Berry's " Encyclopsedta of Heraldry" the same arms are assigned to
" Colleby of Devon," except that he makes the chevron engrailed, which
appears to be more correct. They are the arms of the Norfolk and Suffolk
families of the name, and may be seen on the monument of Sir Thomas
Colby, Bart., of Colby House* in Kensington Parish Church, near the west
door.

Note. — As what I said in the Preface to, " Colby of Great Torrington" about my claims to the Arms and
Qaarterings of " Coplestone" has occasioned many enquiries, I may as well try to explain the state of the case
more fully. My father always claimed to quarter the anus, and was very anxious that his seal should be
preserved on that account. When, however, I proved the Pedigree at Heralds' College, th.e Heralds rcfuseil
to allow my claim on the ground that, as my great grandfather marrieil twice, there might have been a son by
the second marriage. Now, as Mr. Anthony Coplestone's will could not be discovered at Doctors' Commonsi
or at Exeter, after repeated search, how could it be jiroved that there was no son ? On the other hand,
I argue that ** de non apparentibus et non existent! bus eadem est ratio" ; why should they suppose that there
was ? All the Coplestone entries in the Register were extracted and certified by the late Vicar of Ottery St.
Mary, where Mr. Coplestone lived and died. I re-examined the Register three years ago, going carefully twice
over every page from the date of the second marriage to that of Mr. Coplestone's death, and have found no
son. The Misses Hole of Great Torrington, granddaughters of Mr. John Coplestone, stated that
they never heard of any son. Lastly there is extant in the possession of the Rev. Preb. Dayman, a pedigree
of Coplestone of Woodland, compiled by his great uncle, the Rev. John Phillipps of Membury, North
Devon, which says there were three daughters* by the second marriage, but says nothing of any son. So, on
the whole, I venture to claim my inheritance — now, alas ! a purely heraldic one !
* Only two daiightens by the second marriage api)eflr in the Roister : Elizabeth, bap. 2 April 1766, and Ann, bap. 28 Dec.
1772, bur. 16 Sep. 1792. Mr. Phillipps says that one daughter married her cousin Henry Coplestone. No such cousin Henry,
however, nor any such marriage is found in the Registers of Ottery St. Mary. There are descendants living in the female line
of the half brother, Richard Coplestone of Knightstone, Esq., but I do not know whether there are any of Henry or Edmund
Coplestone.
COPLESTONE OF "WOODLAND IN LITTLE TORRINGTON
AND KNIGHTSTONE IN OTTERY ST. MARY.
A carved oak shield with the arraB of the first Richard Coplestone

7, Gorges; 8. St. John; 9, Wibbery ; 10, Fitzwalter ; 11, Fleming;
12, Berkeley; and impales the arms of " Floyer," quartered with
" Crooke." The crest is a demi-griffin segreant without wings.*

also in Berkshire^ ; and a house in Oxford ; all which he left to John Colborne, of Harden-
iniish, Escj., and Thomas Johnson of WouUey, near Bradford, Wilts, Esq. (brother of the
Bishop of W^orcester), in trust for his daughter Elizabeth, wife of Mr. Benjamin Rogers (Rev.
Yy. Rogers, of Rainscombe), and, after her death, to l)e distributed between her children —
William Johnson Rogers, James Rogers, and Elizabeth Rogers.
By the kindness of Mr. Price, I am able to add the following memoranda from an old

" Jane Johnson, given by her mother, 1756. Given by the above Jane to her neice, Mrs.
Furse. The above Jane was sister to Mary to whom this book belonged. They both died
unmarried. Jane at the age of 85. They were daughters of the Rev. Samuel Johnson,
Vicar of Great and Little Torrington, whose wife was Jane Skinner of Rhude, whose mother
was a Dennis (and the descendants of her family are still living at Tavistock). Mrs. John-
son had eleven children, only four outlived her — Jane ; Richard, who married a daughter of
the Rev. — Sess, of Fairmile, near Sidmouth, by whom he had a large family. He was a
surgeon, and lived at Walthamstow in Essex. His eldest son married an Irish lady, and the
eldest daughter a Mr. Watson. Neither have any family. William, who married Miss
E. Reynolds ; and Daniel, who married Miss Bridget Cory, the mother of C. W.
Johnson, who married Theresa Johnson Furse. The Rev. Samuel Johnson was born
in Reading in Berkshire. His eldest brother possessed the property which belonged to
the family in Chippenham. He left one daughter named Elizabeth who married a
Mr. Rogers, of Chippenham, Berks {sic). He had another brother who married a sister
of old Mr. Hiern's, but left no family.

buried in one of the churches, in which some years ago there was a brass chandelier given by
one of the family."

EARLIER JOHNSON PEDIGREE.
Of the Five Families whose Pedigrees have been given, tlie Coplestones only would, I suppose,
be properly called a " Devonshire Family." They have all, however, been for some considerable
time connected with Devonshire, and I did not intend to attempt to trace them further. Withiu
the last few months Mr. F. R. Y. Radcliffe has been good enough to search the registers at St.
Lawrence's Reading, and the wills at Somerset House, and has obtained further information from
the Town Clerk of Reading, with reference to the Johnsons. There has also appeared an article
already referred to, on the Johnsons of Bowden by Mr. W. Money. After all we have been dis-
appointed in our endeavour to confirm the family tradition of a connection between the Johnsons
of Reading and the Johnsons of Bowden. We cannot, indeed, carry back the Pedigree with cer-
tainty beyond Richard Johnson of Reading, the grandfather of the Vicar of Great Torringtou.
Some day the enquiry may be renewed with more success. William Johnston (or Johnson) of
\
f
Bowden Park (near Chippenham) had a son Richard bom in 1629, who, as far as dates go, might
be our Richard, but he married a Sarah Oeils, and we know that the widow of our Ridiard was
called Susannah. It seems most probable that our Richard was Richard, son of Samuel Johnson
of Reading, b. 1G25, but he may have been Richard, son of Gilbert Johnson, Rector of Burgfield,
living, and quite young, in 1631. It is most probable that the different families of Johnson of
Reading were all connected with each other, and there are some circumstances which support the
family tradition of a connection with the Bowden line. In the first place, Mr. William Johnson,
a brother of the Yicar of Great Torrington, had property in Chippenham and in several other
places in North Wilts. Then, again, one of his executors was Thomas Johnson, of WooUey near
Bradford-on-Avon, Esq. This gentleman was a brother of the Bishop of Worcester, and belonged
to the Bowden family. Thirdly, the Rev. Samuel Johnson certainly used the goat's head crest
ascribed to Johnson of Bowden by Burke. I suppose this crest was adopted by George Johnson,
the Welsh Judge, with reference to his Welsh dignity, and was in use, probably, before he had
proved his descent from the Johnstons of Annandale, NB., and had had a regular grant of arms
with the Johnston crest in 1663.^ However this may be, it seems to me to go a long way towards
proving a connection between the two lines. If the Reading people wanted to assume, without
right, the crest of the Bowden family, I do not quite see how they could have known of the goats'
head crest, and one would have expected them to have taken the prettier, better known, and more
noble, Johnston crest. As a matter of f act^ this latter crest has actually been borne by some of
their descendants in later years. On the other hand there appear to have been Johnsons at
Reading long before John Johnston came to England in 1603, if, indeed, he was the real founder
of the Bowden family. F.T.C.
^ In Mr. Monoy'a monograph it is stated that John Johnston oame to England in the retinue o! K. James I in 1608. William
Johnston or Johnson, his son, married Elizabeth d. of Henry Hyde, of Pyrton, oo. Wilts, Eq. and sister of Edward Earl of
Clarendon. Through this marriage his descendants became connected with two Queens, Anne and Mary. In conjunction with
his son George, he bought Bowden Park in Lacock near Chippenham. He was rated in tho Subjidy Roll of 1640 £3 for lands
and 24s. for goods. He died in 1668. George Johnson, his eldest son, built Bowden Hou.«. He was a J.P. for Wilts 1667, M.P.
for Devizes 1681, a Bencher of the Middle Temple, Solicitor to the Treasury, a Judge in the Counties of Montgomery, Flint,
and Denbigh, and had a patent of the reversion of the Mastership of the Rolls, though he did not live to succeed to it. He
twice entertained Catherine of Braganza, Queen of Charles II, on her way to and from Bath. He died in 1683. His wife wa.s
Mary d. of James Oeils, a London merchant, of Flemish origin, by whom he h»\d seventeen children George, afterwards of
Notton in I^Kiock, succeeded him at Bowden, but, in consequence of a Chancery suit, that was subsequently sold. Another son
William, was settled at Bamwood Court, co. Gloucester, and mi^rried Beata d- of William Splwyn Es(^.
